Spuarespace on iPhone

This is my first post from the new Squarespace App for the iPhone. Not sure I would want to do this for a whole vacation.

Synthetic Adjuvants on the Horizon...

So are you worried about not being able to get your Swine Flu shot?  A lot of people are... if you watched 60 Minutes tonight they talked up the scare of not being able to make enough vaccine in order to vaccinate people fast enough.

I'm predicting here that in the next 3 to 6 weeks we will hear the news that because the supply of vaccine is so slow to market that the FDA will have to fast track the use of Synthetic Adjuvents in order to make the vaccine faster.

This is a big deal because these synthetic adjuvants have not been sufficiently tested.

You may also want to buy Novartis stock. ($51.95 today), they make a synthetic adjuvant.

I just wanted to make a record of this prediction... we'll see how much of a nut job I am in a few weeks.

UPDATE: On November 26th I came across this article about Adjuvants that was posted on November 20th. It was a Reuters article about why we should be using adjuvants. Oh, and Novartis stock was $55.85 at the end of day November 24th.

Yea, I know right? a WEDDING video!!!

Although this is 5 months old it took my breath away. Just a lovely piece of work and amazing! I told my wife I wanted to get married again just to have these guys shoot the wedding. You must take the 4 minutes it takes to watch this. You'll probably need 8 though... 

And if that is not enough, this was all shot over a 3 day weekend party, Friday Night rehearsal dinner, Saturday Catholic wedding and Sunday Hindu wedding and it was shown at the reception Sunday night.

Amazing!

Time Lapse Brass Band...

NYC Creative:STUMBLEBUM BRASS BAND:Canon 7D, time lapse from Mike Kobal on Vimeo.

I don't think I would ever thought to use time lapse to shoot a street performer, normally time lapse is reserved for sunsets or freeway traffic or tide rising but this is a really interesting piece... you get the sense that these guys work really hard for a LONG period of time. Fun band too.

Oh and it wasn't shot on a 5DMK2 but on a Canon 7D

Things I Want in Final Cut Pro

i'm gonna be adding to this post a lot.  Hopefully someone from Apple will read it and take note.

1. Editable Guides in the Canvas for compositing, and while your at it, give me guides like I have in Keynote and Motion that do all that snaping and centerlines  and baselines.

2. Let me grab more than one keyframe at a time in the Viewer.

3. Real honest to goodness background rendering of the timeline that i'm working on. Maybe I can set a region of where I want to work and it won't mess with that section but everything else is fare game, Render Away!
